Component Specifications

Definition
A mounting ring is a critical component in optical assemblies, specifically designed to hold and align focusing lenses within a lens mount. It ensures precise positioning, stability, and repeatability of the optical element, often featuring threaded or clamping mechanisms for secure attachment. This component is essential in applications requiring high accuracy, such as laser systems, imaging devices, and scientific instruments, where minimal deviation can impact performance.
Working Principle
The mounting ring operates by mechanically securing the focusing lens within the mount, typically using threads or a clamping mechanism. It applies uniform pressure around the lens perimeter to prevent movement, while maintaining optical alignment through precise machining tolerances. This ensures the lens remains fixed at the correct focal position, allowing for consistent light transmission and focusing performance.
Materials
Common materials include aluminum alloys (e.g., 6061-T6 for lightweight applications), stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 for corrosion resistance), or engineered plastics (e.g., PEEK for thermal stability). Material selection depends on factors like weight, durability, thermal expansion, and environmental conditions.
Technical Parameters
  • Thickness 3-10 mm
  • Tolerance ±0.01 mm
  • Thread Type Metric or imperial (e.g., M42x1)
  • Inner Diameter Matches lens diameter
  • Outer Diameter Varies (e.g., 25-100 mm)
  • Surface Finish Anodized or polished
Standards
ISO 10110, ISO 9022, DIN 3140
